This past harvest had some of the biggest sap runs in the history of our sugar bush, sometimes making 400 gallons in a single day. We did not get much sleep but the syrup is excellent and the weather was perfect. We are now packaging our syrup in environmentaly friendly recyclable glass containers. They are a little heavier and more fragile but they are the best method for storing small quantities of maple syrup for use in your home or buisness. Stored in a cool environment maple syrup is good for three years.

Company Info

Black Bear Sugarworks, a 250-acre farm is located in the southern Green Mountains of Vermont on the ancient Waite River limestone formation. This vein of limestone running through the property provides optimum soil conditions for 140-acres of sugar maples. Just as wine and olive oil do, Maple syrup exhibits the unique characteristics of the local geography, weather and soil. The land was formerly the Higley farm and has been a productive sugar bush for more than a century. You have the opportunity to experience a single farms production of one of the oldest forms of sugar. It is the second most sustainable form of sugar, behind honey. A phenomena of North America, sugar made by trees as they push energy to their crowns, is rich in history, sustainably farmed and was once proposed as the sugar of America by Benjamin Franklin.
